Vegetarian Taco Filling

-----------------------
We use the following for the filling base:
1 med onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup TVP, sprinkled with soy sauce then reconstituted w/boiling water
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp red pepper
saute the onion until transparent, then add the garlic. Saute briefly,
then add the TVP and the spices. Saute until dry.
To make the tacos, we usually add some or all of the following to the filling
base, assembling individual tacos at the table. Makes a terrific meal to serve
to guests with a salad and some refried beans, or rice, or grains, or any
mixture.
chopped tomatoes
chopped green onions
any salsa (tomatillo salsa is terrific)
shredded lettuce or other greens
sprouts
shredded cheese (either dairy or soy)
fried garbonzos
chopped onions (esp. vidalia, when in season)
bacon bits (Baco Bits are soy, as are Fakin' Bacon)
almost anything else you can find than can be chopped or shredded!
Enjoy.
